简要总结
Two wheelchair types available for children in Kenya are assessed for energy costs, utility, and complications. This study will arrive at a protocol for assessing wheelchairs in low-income settings, and in the process, provide wheelchair makers and providers with specific feedback. It also serves as a means to increase the skills of local health professionals working with the children in this study, while providing them with appropriate wheelchairs to use.
详细描述
In each of 2011, 2012, and 2013, two different low cost wheelchairs were assessed. User feedback, health professional feedback, and objective measures were employed for these assessments in the real world setting. Participants for each phase were recruited from a Kenyan Primary or Secondary Schools for children with disability.
